ABSTRACT:
A pull-out lavatory is disclosed wherein a spout may be removed from a sink top to direct a stream of water to a desired location. The spout is mounted laterally offset from a lateral center of the sink top, and is firmly seated in the sink top when mounted. The spout is guided out of its seat on the sink top by rotating the spout which is moved vertically upwardly out of its mount. An arrangement prevents the spout from being rotated away from the center of the sink, since that may result in the stream of water being directed outwardly of the sink. In a further aspect of the present invention, the spout includes upper and under cover members which are snapped together and which include mating rib and notch structure to add to the stability of the spout. Also, the fluid connections within the spout housing include mounting structure that ensure they are properly aligned relative to the spout housing. The overall combination results in a pull-out lavatory that may be quickly assembled and properly aligned. Further, the inventive pull-out lavatory ensures that the spout is not inadvertently rotated in a direction such that a stream of water is directed outwardly of the sink.
